Leaf peeping

Most winter weekend mornings, Loon sends out a message around 9 a.m. that the main parking lots are full and the only parking is down at Timber Town or Escape Route, which makes it a long haul to get back to the main summit in North Peak.

I was there the weekend before last, and the traffic from the Leaf Peepers had vehicles crawling for well over a mile beyond the I-93 exit.

While the new trails and lifts may be able to handle additional visits and spread skiers out, the additional day trippers are likely to make weekend traffic even worse.

Given Loon's location on the south side of the Pemi, as well as the location of business and condos along the north side of the Pemi, there is no room for another road or even adding a lane or two to the existing one.

... that I came across and I need your all's help with.

We went up to Breck last week, uh, again, just as to v- visit the leaves, to go leaf peeping.

Leaf peeping.

I got some great pictures, got some good drone footage all over Breck.

We had a, we had a good time.

It's instinct, isn't it, to be bossy and controlling? Our friend Danielle McFadden, the former Madame President of the Greater Lowell Chamber of Commerce, now the Madame School Committee woman, says, I'm so sorry.

Don't act like you don't like leaf peeping, Teddy.

I hate leaf peeping.

She used to get so mad at me when I dumped on leaf peeping on the radio.

Next thing you know, you'll be plugging fireworks.

No, I shit on fireworks earlier this week on the Daily Post.

Unfortunately, my wife and I were not able to drive up to Lake Winnipesaukee last weekend, and we won't be able to this weekend for the Columbus Day weekend.

So unfortunately, we're missing leaf peeping season up in New Hampshire.

Now, have any of you done that? Have any of you gone up to New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, New York.

I know there are a lot of places down south in the Midwest, too, where people enjoy the foliage.

But I got to tell you, driving up to New Hampshire and being in the White Mountains with the lakes and everything like that and seeing all the explosion of colors of leaves and everything is just beautiful.

And it looks like when we finally go up, which will probably be not Columbus Day weekend, the following weekend, we will be past peak and unfortunately miss most of the foliage.

So hopefully some of you have gotten a chance to go up and enjoy some of the leaf peeping and i'll tell you i saw some some video this morning of leaf peeping in new hampshire and there's a very popular place you know for people to listen to my show from new hampshire mass you know this area from people outside of this area you may not know this but if you're ever going to come up you want to take a drive on the Cangemangus Highway up in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

And it is beautiful, but I saw videos this morning, and this is something I don't think I've ever seen before, because when you go in the summer and you drive along the Cangemangus Highway, it's a beautiful trip, but you don't see many cars.

It happens every year in Salem.

And so question two, a false staple, a false staple leaf peeping.

So yeah, I'm assuming

from people that

You cram six kids in a minivan.

You're driving up through the Berkshires.

Leaf peeping is something that happens in the New England area, and people love it.

People go do it.

But to me, I just like the colors, right? So this is always –

Leaf peeping.

It is leaf peeping season.

Which I didn't know was a thing until I

found out a
